Chapter 22
KJV · Textus Receptus
ThenJoshuacalled theReubenites, and theGadites, and thehalftribe of Manasseh,
2 Andsaid unto them, Ye havekept all thatMoses theservant of theLORDcommanded you, and haveobeyed myvoice in all that I commanded you:
3 Ye have notleft yourbrethren thesemanydays unto thisday, but havekept thecharge of thecommandment of theLORD your God.
4 And now theLORD yourGod hath givenrest unto yourbrethren, as hepromised them: therefore nowreturn ye, andget you unto yourtents, and unto theland of yourpossession, whichMoses theservant of theLORDgave you on the otherside Jordan.
5 But takediligentheed todo thecommandment and thelaw, whichMoses theservant of theLORDcharged you, tolove theLORD yourGod, and towalk in all hisways, and tokeep hiscommandments, and tocleave unto him, and toserve him with all yourheart and with all your soul.
6 SoJoshuablessed them, and sent themaway: and theywent unto their tents.
7 Now to the onehalf of thetribe ofManassehMoses hadgiven possession inBashan: but unto the otherhalf thereofgaveJoshuaamong theirbrethren on thissideJordanwestward. And whenJoshua sent themaway also unto theirtents, then he blessed them,
8 And hespake unto them,saying,Return withmuchriches unto yourtents, and withverymuchcattle, withsilver, and withgold, and withbrass, and withiron, and withverymuchraiment:divide thespoil of yourenemies with your brethren.
9 And thechildren ofReuben and thechildren ofGad and thehalftribe ofManassehreturned, anddeparted from thechildren ofIsrael out ofShiloh, which is in theland ofCanaan, togo unto thecountry ofGilead, to theland of theirpossession, whereof they werepossessed, according to theword of theLORD by thehand of Moses.
10 And when theycame unto theborders ofJordan, that are in theland ofCanaan, thechildren ofReuben and thechildren ofGad and thehalftribe ofManassehbuilt there analtar byJordan, agreataltar to see to.
11 And thechildren ofIsraelheardsay, Behold, thechildren ofReuben and thechildren ofGad and thehalftribe ofManasseh havebuilt analtar overagainst theland ofCanaan, in theborders ofJordan, at thepassage of thechildren of Israel.
12 And when thechildren ofIsraelheard of it, the wholecongregation of thechildren ofIsrael gathered themselvestogether atShiloh, to goup to war against them.
13 And thechildren ofIsraelsent unto thechildren ofReuben, and to thechildren ofGad, and to thehalftribe ofManasseh, into theland ofGilead,Phinehas theson ofEleazar the priest,
14 And with himtenprinces, ofeachchiefhouse aprince throughout all thetribes ofIsrael; and eachone was anhead of thehouse of theirfathers among thethousands of Israel.
15 And theycame unto thechildren ofReuben, and to thechildren ofGad, and to thehalftribe ofManasseh, unto theland ofGilead, and theyspake with them, saying,
16 Thussaith the wholecongregation of theLORD, Whattrespass is this that ye havecommitted against theGod ofIsrael, to turnaway thisday fromfollowing theLORD, in that ye havebuilded you analtar, that ye mightrebel thisday against the LORD?
17 Is theiniquity ofPeor toolittle for us, from which we are notcleansed until thisday, although there was aplague in thecongregation of the LORD,
18 But that ye must turnaway thisday fromfollowing theLORD? and it will be, seeing yerebel today against theLORD, that tomorrow he will bewroth with the wholecongregation of Israel.
19Notwithstanding, if theland of yourpossession beunclean, then pass yeover unto theland of thepossession of theLORD, wherein theLORD'Stabernacledwelleth, and takepossessionamong us: butrebel not against theLORD,norrebel against us, inbuilding you analtarbeside thealtar of theLORD our God.
20 Did notAchan theson ofZerahcommit atrespass in the accursedthing, andwrathfell on all thecongregation ofIsrael? and thatmanperished notalone in his iniquity.
21 Then thechildren ofReuben and thechildren ofGad and thehalftribe ofManassehanswered, andsaid unto theheads of thethousands of Israel,
22 TheLORDGod ofgods, theLORDGod ofgods, heknoweth, andIsrael he shallknow; if it be inrebellion, or if intransgression against theLORD,(save us not this day,)
23 That we havebuilt us analtar toturn fromfollowing theLORD, or if tooffer thereon burntoffering or meatoffering, or if toofferpeaceofferings thereon, let theLORD himself require it;
24 And if we have not ratherdone it forfear of thisthing,saying, In time tocome yourchildren mightspeak unto ourchildren,saying, What have ye to do with theLORDGod of Israel?
25 For theLORD hathmadeJordan aborder between us and you, yechildren ofReuben andchildren ofGad; ye have nopart in theLORD: so shall yourchildrenmake ourchildrenceasefromfearing the LORD.
26 Therefore wesaid, Let us nowprepare tobuild us analtar, not for burntoffering, nor for sacrifice:
27 But that it may be awitness between us, and you, and ourgenerationsafter us, that we mightdo theservice of theLORDbefore him with our burntofferings, and with oursacrifices, and with our peaceofferings; that yourchildren may notsay to ourchildren in time tocome, Ye have nopart in the LORD.
28Therefore said we, that it shall be, when they should so say to us or to our generations in time to come, that we may say again, Behold the pattern of the altar of the LORD, which our fathers made, not for burnt offerings, nor for sacrifices; but it is a witness between us and you.
29God forbid that we should rebel against the LORD, and turn this day from following the LORD, to build an altar for burnt offerings, for meat offerings, or for sacrifices, beside the altar of the LORD our God that is before his tabernacle.
30And when Phinehas the priest, and the princes of the congregation and heads of the thousands of Israel which were with him, heard the words that the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the children of Manasseh spake, it pleased them.
31And Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest said unto the children of Reuben, and to the children of Gad, and to the children of Manasseh, This day we perceive that the LORD is among us, because ye have not committed this trespass against the LORD: now ye have delivered the children of Israel out of the hand of the LORD.
32And Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest, and the princes, returned from the children of Reuben, and from the children of Gad, out of the land of Gilead, unto the land of Canaan, to the children of Israel, and brought them word again.
33And the thing pleased the children of Israel; and the children of Israel blessed God, and did not intend to go up against them in battle, to destroy the land wherein the children of Reuben and Gad dwelt.
34And the children of Reuben and the children of Gad called the altar Ed: for it shall be a witness between us that the LORD is God.
